42 Allergan $123.6 Billion

San Francisco Bay Area

28 Gilead Sciences $172.9 Billion

Ijs, beat that.

Going to need a sauce on that, homie. Not jiving with any of the charts I'm pulling up.

Also, that link you posted earlier was design-build firms, not architecture/design firms. And SF didn't "dominate" either list, anyway. Try totaling up revenue for the firms in each city instead of just looking at who occupies the #1 spot in the list. I know, I know...discussing things like adults with nuance and without oversimplification and reduction is hard work.

Also, I'd love it if you could respond the CityLab article I posted about San Francisco eating its own tail by limiting residential growth.

Lastly, any thoughts on the impending burst of the current tech bubble and its implications for the Bay Area?

Perhaps you should seek info from sources other than Perez Hilton.

And market cap is not a matter of opinion. This is fact:
Southern California
20 Walt Disney $201.6 Billion
40 Amgen $124.8 Billion
42 Allergan $123.6 Billion

San Francisco Bay Area
1 Apple $721.1 Billion
2 Google $462.5 Billion
6 Wells Fargo $299.5 Billion
8 Facebook $268.0 Billion
26 Visa $175.8 Billion
27 Chevron $174.8 Billion
28 Gilead Sciences $172.9 Billion
29 Oracle $169.1 Billion
34 Cisco $142.5 Billion
37 Intel $136.1 Billion

We certainly dominate LA in that ranking, which was the point.

Why? That has nothing to do with this thread.

And yet Snapchat turned down a buyout from Facebook. Why do you think that is?

Of course it does. If a metro area limits growth, housing prices skyrocket, which is exactly what has happened in San Francisco. And if it happens for a sustained period, it becomes unaffordable for firms to continue to be located in the area because they have to pay their employees salaries to match the cost of living. Don't you know anything?

Look at what's being built in San Francisco versus what is being built in Los Angeles and tell me that has zero impact on the economic trajectory of those cities.

Hey "homie", why arent firms evacuating the Bay Area like thet are Los Angeles since the Bay Area is way more expensive.

Toyota left LA while more than a dozen automakers are expanding their presence in Silicon Valley.

Ah, I see why the charts I kept pulling up had different results. You kept calling it "US companies by market cap" but this is actually a list of global companies traded on US exchanges.
